ABSTRACT
Background: Uterus is a pear shaped muscular retroperitoneal organ. It has three layers Endometrium, myometrium and perimetrium. Aim: To determine the sonographic size of normal uterus in pre and post-menopausal women and its correlation with BMI. Material And Method: This study consists of 150 women (115 parous &35 nulliparous) had sonography with abdominal and /or pelvic problem non-relating to uterus in both parous and nulliparous women. Uterine measurements are assessed and associated with age, height, and weight and correlated with pre and post-menopausal women. Results: The result showed that the size of uterus (length×width×height) from 11to 30 years is (7 ×3 ×4), from 31 to 40 is (7× 4 × 5), from 41 to 50 years is (7×4 × 5), and from 50 to 6o years is (7 × 3 ×4). From 60 to 90 year’s uterus length decreases. In 60 to 70 years is (6.1 × 2 ×2), from 71 to 80 years is (4 ×3×2) from 81 to 90 years is (5 × 2 × 3). In my study there was insignificant correlation of uterus dimensions with BMI. Conclusion: On the beginning of the current work next inference was strained. The uterine length rises with rise in age in from 11 to 60 years and reduction in 61 to 90 years’ age. Negative correlation between uterine length and BMI. There is insignificant correlation of uterus dimensions with BMI.
ABSTRACT
Neurological damage from Behçet's disease is considered to be a severe neurological manifestation. We have collected 16 cases from the internal medicine, neurology and radiology department of Ibnou Rochd hospital in Casalanca. Our patients have a mean age of 39 years, with male predominance and an average delay of 6.18 years. Headache and central motor impairment were the first telltale signs of neuro-Behçet in 62.5%. The brain scan was carried out in 15 patients, it objectified an ischemic stroke in a single case, poorly systematized hypodensities raising suspicion of thrombophlebitis in 5 cases and an image of venous thrombosis concerning the upper longitudinal sinus in a single case. Brain MRI showed demyelination lesions, of infra-centimeter sizes and variable shapes; in hypo signal T1, hyper signal T2 and T2 FLAIR in 9 patients, of supratentorial seat in 5 cases and lesions in under tentorial in 4 cases with uptake of nodular contrast in 2 cases and annular contrast in only one case. The MRI also highlighted 3 cases of cortical subcortical atrophy on the upper tentorial level, one case of atrophy of the brainstem, 7 cases of venous thrombosis objectified on angio MRI and 2 cases of stroke ischemic. Thus, a pseudo-tumor aspect was reported in only one case. And only one case benefited from a spinal MRI and objectified cervical lesions. These lesions are often associated. The preferred location found in our patients is the brainstem, essentially ponto- mesencephalic. This distribution makes it possible to make the differential diagnosis with other vasculitides and inflammatory diseases.
ABSTRACT
Morel-Lavallée syndrome corresponds to a serolymphatic effusion which generally forms after a tangential trauma next to a richly vascularized tissue. This lesion has been rarely reported, explaining that the diagnosis is often unrecognized. While treatment may be conservative or minimally invasive at an early stage, invasive management is required in the event of diagnostic delay. In addition, untreated lesions can lead to pain, superinfection or progressive subcutaneous swelling that can be confused with soft tissue tumors.We report the observation of a 25-year-old young man with a large Morel effusion- Lumbar cavity diagnosed early. We also carried out a review of the literature to summarize the main diagnostic criteria and the management methods.

ABSTRACT
Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) or encephalo-facial angiomatosis, is a syndrome rare congenital neurocutaneous and ocular. He has two types of malformations: capillary congenital facial with flat angioma type and capillaro-venous lepto-meningeal location the more often ipsilateral parieto-occipital. The Neuroimaging, essentially imaging by magnetic resonance (MRI), plays a role important in establishing the diagnosis, ideally before the onset of complications neuro-ocular. We report the case of a patient with motor impairment in whom SWS is suspected based on facial angioma and pharmaco-resistant epilepsy.

ABSTRACT
Background: Clients satisfaction have gained increasing attention as meaningful and important sources of information for identifying gaps and developing an effective action plan for quality improvement in healthcare organizations. However, there only very few published studies reporting of the improvement resulting from feedback information of patient surveys, and in most cases, these studies are not in line with their findings. The patients become the main strategy for the main strategy for the organization of health services. This is the era of patients centre care. The study attempts to evaluate patients satisfaction with quality of service offered by clinical pathology Department in JUTH. Materials and methods: 150 Subjects were recruited after consent by random sampling through an inquiry conducted anonymously during the months of January and May 2017. The age range is between eighteen to seventy years. The inquiry was in form of questionnaire with the following questions: accessibility to the laboratory, cleanliness of the laboratory, patients-staff interpersonal relationship, waiting time and turn around time (TAT), labeled 1,2,3,4,5 respectively. Classification of the calculation results of questionnaires was carried out in three categories, namely good service quality, service quality is good enough, and the quality of service quality, service quality is good enough, and the quality of service is not good. Results: This study showed very high overall satisfaction of patients on service in clinical pathology laboratory (80.4%). The levers of cleanliness, communication level and TAT have the highest satisfaction with 99%, 95% and 93% respectively. Those with good enough falls into the category of accessibility and time taken with 52% and 63% respectively. The overall degree of satisfaction is 80.4%. Conclusion: The patients satisfaction in the lever of cleanness, communication, and TAT was the highest (good quality service) and the lowest of the levers ......

ABSTRACT
Background: Female reproduction system contains uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. PCOS occur when male sex hormones are produced in excess amount in female. The ovaries can foster an enormous liquid assortment (follicles) and on ordinary premise don't deliver eggs. Objective: To estimate the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) prevalent in reproductive womens in Gujrat City Population. Material and Methods: Cross sectional study was conducted between March 2022 to May 2022 for patients at Khalil Hospital Gujrat, Pakistan. Sample size of 140 female Patients was obtained using a convenient sampling technique. All Female patients on daily routine were included. Toshiba Ultrasound Machine was used in this study. SPSS version 22 was used for data entry and analysis. Results: 140 Patients presented in the age ranges of (18-25), (26-35), (36-45), (46-55) respectively. There were all female included in this study. Classification of Signs & symptoms of Pain was present in 54(41.4%), Obesity in 36(25.7%) patients, Irregular Periods in 13(9.3%), Irregular Period-Pain-Facial Hairs in 16(11.4%), Infertility-Irregular Periods in 13(9.3), Irregular Periods-Obesity 4(2.9%). PCOS was seen in 48(34.3%) patients. Conclusion: PCOS is common in reproductive age women, most patients come with complain of pain 54(44.1%) and Obesity 36(25.7%) with Disturbed Menstrual cycle 13(9.3%) some were present with complain of Infertility 13(9.3%). PCOs were seen in 48(34.3%) patients. Ultrasound is effective in the diagnosing PCOS in early age.
